What guests think

At The Modernist Hotel, travelers consistently praise the central, walkable location and welcoming staff, while feedback on rooms is more mixed, with comfortable beds but variable sizes, occasional street noise, and intermittent Wi-Fi.

Cleanliness is widely commended, though several guests report shower designs that cause bathroom floors to flood and note minor maintenance niggles. Breakfast and the on-site bistro/bar earn frequent praise, with a few comments about limited options or extra charges, and parking is available but off-site, costly, and sometimes slow. Expect a stylish, central stay with friendly service and some room and facility trade-offs.

Hotel was well located in the city, plenty of shops and restaurants around, supermarket at the corner and the amphitheatre was just beside it too. Difficult on first entering to see where the reception desk is. Pleasant front desk staff but had to ask for city map. Room big enough and very comfortable bed. No view from window just other walls opposite with windows but overall that's not too important. For some parts design ruled over practicality - the hangers for clothes were quite high up so if you were 5' or under you would not reach. The same for the safe - too high. As for being able to reach the spare pillows etc no chance. Large sink but again things slid down the side into it. Shower design lead to floor flooding every time. The shower gel was extremely watery. The AC did not switch on but luckily were OK weather wise. The towels appeared to be changed everyday even though we hung them up to dry - did not see any mention of re-using them which we would have been happy to do. These were minor issues as the room overall was comfortable. Breakfast was good with plenty of hot and cold options. Lovely cappuccino made to order. The bar man made great caiprinhias. Water flavoured with fruit available at reception as well as a lovely selection of sweets. Would stay here again.

The property is very clean and well-cared for. The location is also excellent, and we appreciated having enough space for both of our suitcases. The staff was also very lovely. Our "issue" (and it's not a really big deal at all) is that the "Modernist" design so touted by the ads, was just really hokey, and even looked a bit cheap. The light fixtures in the room were WAY too bright, and the hallways were just a bit grim. Of course, this is very subjective.

We booked 3 rooms at this property the night before our cruise, departing out of Trieste. It was the perfect solution! Great pricing, very walkable and convenient, so much to do in the area. The hotel was comforable (albiet rooms a little small, but very comfortable). The area around the hotel was wonderful and so many great restaurants. The staff was very helpful and stowed our luggage until our we left for the cruise port. They promptly arranged transportation for us to the port....yes it is walkable, but you really don't want to schlep your bags.....the taxi was quick, easy and inexpensive. But the most impressive thing was the AMAZING breakfast. I have never seen a spread like the one that they put out. It was stunning.....one would expect to pay $25 for the breakfast alone...but to have it included was incredible. Trieste is a beautiful area and we hope to travel there again.....when we do, we will absolutely book at the Modernist.

Great hotel, but towels should be better Almost everything about our stay at this hotel deserves praises, with one notable exception: the towels. During our two-night stay, we were provided with two sets of towels that were noticeably thin, worn, and even had small holes. For a hotel of this standard, this was a surprising letdown. On the POSITIVE side, highlights included: - Excellent reception and assistance from Jenifer and Ali at the front desk – friendly, helpful, and efficient. - A beautiful blend of modern decor with original architectural features, creating a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere. - Spacious, modern, and well-maintained room (we stayed in Room 107). - Carpet-free room (more hygienic). - A large, contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower. - High-quality bed linens. And two pillows for each guest. - Fully functional air conditioning. - A very good breakfast. - Flavored water available in the reception area – a thoughtful touch. - Great location, just outside the main tourist area. Areas for IMPROVEMENT: - Upgrade the towels – guests would appreciate newer, softer, and more absorbent options. - Install a dimmable light in the bathroom for nighttime use. - Provide body lotion as part of the bathroom amenities. - Offer a complimentary bottle of water in the room, which is standard in many hotels of this category.

È stato tutto perfetto e il personale è stato pronto a mettersi a disposizione per risolvere un problema che avevamo in stanza (avevamo il getto del condizionatore che puntava sul letto. Penso però sarebbe da risolvere in modo definitivo). L'unica cosa che mi ha deluso è stata chiedere un extra al prezzo della prima colazione, per avere una spremuta di arancia. Il prezzo della colazione non è basso; non credo possa essere un problema far rientrare anche una spremuta in quella cifra. Ma temo sia una pratica abbastanza diffusa. Comunque, a parte questo, la permanenza è stata bellissima e ci tornerò sicuramente.

Nie mehr wieder!!! Vorsicht beim bezahlen !!! Uns wurde eine Übernachtung zu viel abgebucht. Seit nunmehr 2 Monaten versuchen wir unser Geld wieder zu bekommen. Wir werden, wenn überhaupt noch, nur mit fadenscheinigen Ausreden hingehalten. Unser Studio hatte zwei Fenster. Eines ging in einen Lichtschacht an dessen unterem Ende die Restaurantküche und die Raucherecke der Mitarbeiter war. Der Gestank war nicht auszuhalten. Das andere Fenster war im Bad. Hier war der "Ausblick" auf eine Mauer und nach links auf ein Gitter. Das Bad lies sich nur heizen, wenn man den Wohnraum auf Saunatemperartur erhitzte. Das Bad hatte keine eigene Heizung!!. Der Wasserdruck im Bad war meist so schlecht, dass kaum Wasser aus der Dusche kam. Das Restaurant war schön, das Personal freundlich. Das Frühstück war weniger gut. Kaum Auswahl, die auch noch immer vergriffen war. Abends im Restaurant war das Essen ok, die Portionen leider sehr klein. Das Essen war sehr teuer. Wir würden dort nie mehr übernachten.
